Magnum 6K25e Gigabit Fiber Switch

Installation and User Guide (10/07)

Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Magnum 6K25e site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K25e will normally protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to visually monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around the unit so that cooling can occur from the small fan on the left side, while the unit is in operation. See figure below.

3.2Connecting Ethernet Media

The Magnum 6K25e Switches are specifically designed to support all standard Ethernet media types within a single Switch unit. This is accomplished by using a family of different port Modules which can be individually selected and configured per-port. See Section 2.4 for a description of the PMs.

The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE

802.3 and 802.3u standards and connector types are as follows:

3.2.1Connecting Fiber Optic ST-type, “twist-lock”

The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with ST-type fiber connectors. This procedure applies to ports using a 6K25e module, MST-type port.

1.Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from the tips of the connectors on the PM. Save these dust caps for future use.

2.Wipe clean the ends of the dual connectors with a soft cloth or lint-free lens tissue dampened in alcohol. Make certain the connectors are clean before connecting.

Note: One strand of the duplex fiber optic cable is coded using color bands at regular intervals; you must use the color-coded strand on the associated ports at each end of the fiber optic segment.
